If a ship has both of these abilities aboard:

-Masts on this ship cannot be eliminated by shots unless the cannon roll is a 6.

-Two hits from the same shoot action are required to eliminate one of this ship’s masts.

Can the Maui’s Fishhook use her ability before receiving any segments?  “Once per turn as part of a move action, this ship can randomly take one treasure from any ship up to S away from her.”
